Nagato Kagutsuchi: The Dawn
Ch. 33 - Shinigami And Nagato's Destiny
In a situation filled with despair the townspeople moved away from the aura of intimidation belonging to X 2, they realized that what they were doing would only add a burden for Serlin and the others.
Nagato who was in critical condition, his mind drifted far into the past.
Nagato was in such a dark world, he walked down a labyrinth-like path, when he saw the light, Nagato walked slowly but surely in the light that shone in the darkness.
As he got closer to the bright light, Nagato's eyes widened when he saw the figure of a creature that was none other than the Ancient Curse of the Death God Shinigami or better known as the Death Bearer.
The eyes of Shinigami and Nagato met each other.
"Buck! Aren't you afraid of me?" Shinigami asked Nagato who was staring at him.
"Fearful? I'm not afraid of you .. ugly creature!" nagato replied as she slowly walked closer to the Shinigami.
"Rancid boy! Let me remind you one thing, you don't deserve a friend!" Shinigami stuck out his long tongue to scare Nagato away.
"What do you mean?" answer Nagato briefly.
"The destiny for a person who is cursed is to become a vengeful person or to be used only by someone stronger than you after that you die!" Shinigami seemed to want to show Nagato a picture of a bleak future.
"You'll find out one day, but it'll be interesting if you have a friend, because if you get hurt or lose one of your precious friends, then at that very moment you will become a real vengeful person!" The Shinigami brought his face closer to Nagato to warn him.
"You don't realize there's another you either, do you?" Shinigami pointed at the young man who was none other than Nagato but the young man was tied with chains and all over his body pierced by trident, dagger, machete, sword, and keris.
"That's .. me?" Nagato was surprised to see his other self.
"From the beginning of you there were two only you grew up to be a good child thanks to your parents, and now your parents are gone, you always try to stay strong on the grounds that you always remember what your mother or father said." Shinigami tries to make Nagato remember his hatred.
"Unconsciously sometimes your emotions are unstable, sometimes you become friendly but at the same time you are also sometimes cold." Shinigami smiled in front of Nagato.
"A-i ... " Nagato swallowed his saliva, if he thought back sometimes Nagato felt something strange about him.
"Remember these words of mine, you may now be a little interested in those two boys, you must remember that human nature will change over time and you will regret forgetting your hatred and choosing to enjoy a little peace with your fellow human beings." Shinigami's hand was about to touch Nagato's head but Nagato brushed it off with his right hand.
"Whispering!" Nagato brushed off the Shinigami's hand.
"You're too kind as your father, helping someone you just met, don't you realize you're too naive, boy!" Shinigami looked at Nagato and brought his face closer to scare Nagato.
"Never look for a friend, never trust anyone, and don't be too good to be human!" Shinigami wanted to give Nagato a suggestion.
"If you trust someone too much, what will you do? If the person you trust betrayed you, if I were you, I'd kill that person." Shinigami kept talking to Nagato.
"Whispering ... " Nagato started to get annoyed with the Ancient Curse Spirit before him.
"Don't be too kind to someone, don't trust someone too much, what would you do if someone you trust stabbed you in the front and back, your body and your back." Shinigami stared coldly at Nagato.
"Huh? Whatchu mean?" Nagato did not understand the meaning of the Shinigami.
"A human like you helps someone? You don't deserve to do that, you're a vindictive, remember your hatred for the man who killed your parents!" The Shinigami brought his face closer to Nagato.
"You have no right to rule my life, for this is my life!" Nagato stared back at the Shinigami as if he was not afraid of the monstrous creature.
"Without you remind me that I'm going to kill that man with my own hands!" Nagato recalled Kazan again but the part of him felt that something was missing because his hatred this time was different from what he used to feel, as if ever since Nagato had met Litha, he had met her, Chiaki and Chaika then meet with Iris, Tika and Hika. Ever since Nagato met them, sometimes questions arise.
"Do I deserve a friend?"
"Do I deserve to be their friend?"
The gaping hatred slowly disappeared slowly so Nagato felt that something was wrong with him.
"So that's the other me." Nagato looked at himself who was tied up with chains, his eyes looking at his surroundings with a cold and hateful look.
"You won't realize if your hatred starts to fade." - the inner Shinigami who saw Nagato's reaction when he felt something was wrong with him.
When Nagato got to know Litha, Iris and the others, he slowly started to forget his hatred for Kazan so Nagato became feeling that something was wrong with him.
Shinigami just smiled broadly at the young man in front of him, this time he managed to make contact with Nagato, if one day the young man who became his container could not control his anger, he said, then the Shinigami would easily influence Nagato.
"Now only you can see me, boy!" inner Shinigami, because this time he will be a translucent creature and who can see himself is none other than the child who is exposed to the ancient curse itself, Nagato.
Shinigami can also show themselves to other human beings but only as they wish.
Nagato was surprised to see the desperate townspeople even seeing Serlin and the others crying, but for some reason they were crying for him.
"Am I dead? Tell me, how do I get back?" Nagato felt that he was not dead.
"There's only one way you can come back!" Shinigami knows how to get Nagato back but the risk is considerable because Nagato has to let his body be taken over by the Shinigami.
"Let me take over your body!" Shinigami tells Nagato how.
Nagato stared at the Shinigami in front of him for a while, wanting to ascertain whether the Spirit in front of him wanted to try to lie to him or not.
"All right." Nagato made up his mind because he felt that this was the only way he could return.
"Let me explain the condition of your body now, your left hand bone is broken in two and even your left hand forms a triangle because of your broken bone!" Shinigami explains Nagato's body condition.
Nagato was surprised because he did not expect to be injured that badly.
"Your ribs are also partially broken and your left leg bones are also broken! I will try not to make your body hurt any worse!" Shinigami added.
"Wait a minute, you're not gonna make my body even more broken, are you?" Nagato was shocked when he heard the explanation about his body condition.
"Rancid boy! Take it easy you think I'll go that far!" Shinigami smiled thinly but his smile looked terrible.
"It is precisely because your appearance like that makes me distrustful! But now I believe in you, however you are also a part of me!" Nagato exerted his body on the Shinigami.
Shinigami themselves are also surprised because for thousands of years if any human being was exposed to an ancient curse, they would be afraid to see his form but before him now, he said, a young man who was even just five years old was not at all afraid of him.
"I don't think you're not afraid of me .. Uh?" when the Shinigami was amazed by Nagato, because the young man was not afraid to see his form, but all that was lost in an instant when he saw Nagato's body trembling in fear but the young man tried to keep looking strong and calm.
"Grow your hands!" Shinigami will not wait any longer because he did not expect to meet a human child who was exposed to this interesting ancient curse.
Nagato stretched out his hand, as his and Shinigami's hands touched, the form of Shinigami slowly disappeared, a pitch-black aura spreading around Nagato.
"I'll show you an illusion!" The Shinigami who had entered Nagato's body was like talking to himself, but Nagato heard the Shinigami's voice and could see the scene before his eyes, but he felt so tired and felt excruciating pain.
In an instant Nagato was in a garden that looked so beautiful, yet in an instant all living beings like animals and plants died from being exposed to the pitch-black aura that spread from within him.
And before long he saw the human gaze around him like keeping a distance from him, a gaze that did not accept his presence.
When Nagato wanted to scream and cry, five people appeared who stabbed him with weapons such as trident, dagger, cleaver, sword, and keris.
But strangely Nagato did not feel the slightest pain when his body was pierced by the weapon, precisely the pitch-black aura and hatred in his heart disappeared slowly.
"Hows it? That's your destiny to become a vengeful man!" Shinigami spoke to Nagato who was in his own subconscious.
But for the Shinigami it is not a problem for him, if Nagato has a friend it will actually make him a real vengeful because Nagato does not deserve to have a friend who is hypocritical, good-ass, good-natured, and the traitor, when Nagato has tasted betrayal then the Shinigami will return the shred of hatred that is in Nagato's heart.
So Nagato could feel the hatred he had long been craving even if it was necessary for the Shinigami to free the rest of Nagato's self in order for the young man to return to feeling complete hatred.
"If this child will have such a friend, then at that very moment he will come to his senses! That wherever he is, he will be surrounded by humans who have a demon-like nature!" inner Shinigami.
"Buck! You have the potential to become a king, I will wait for you until you are fully mature! Then at that time according to the record of destiny I will take over your body!" Shinigami talks to Nagato.
Nagato who heard it only nodded his head, as he felt a tremendous pain withstanding the pain from his own body.
Nagato's eyes opened slowly, but it was actually the Shinigami who controlled Nagato's body.
"It! How could he be injured this badly." Shinigami muttered softly as he looked at Nagato's broken left hand.
"This rancid boy is still a child, if he was injured more severely it's not impossible for his entire life he would just be a crippled human!" the look on Shinigami's face was serious, Serlin and the others were surprised to see Nagato had come to their senses but it wasn't the real Nagato.
"It would be a shame! The ancient power would be useless if this brat was handicapped!" shinigami muttered as he wrinkled his face and shook his head several times.
"I don't feel any pain at all!" The shinigami squeezes his right hand then clenches his right hand tightly.
The Shinigami closed his eyes, as the large pieces of brick around him fell.
Everyone who was in the central square of the city was shocked to see Nagato had regained his senses and returned.
Nagato has returned, but this time it is the Shinigami who take over his body, and the battle between the Shinigami against the X 2 savage humans is about to begin.
